The sanctions decade

"This book, based on more than two hundred interviews with officials from the UN and sanctioned countries, and other involved actors, provides the first comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of UN sanctions during the 1990s." "The authors develop a set of criteria for judging the full impact of sanctions and then provide detailed studies of specific cases. They conclude with far-reaching recommendations for increasing the viability of sanctions as a productive diplomatic tool."--BOOK JACKET.
